Proficiency of the week: Sword:Estoc to Long

The following proficiencies take one weapon proficiency slot each:

• Sword, Estoc
• Sword, Falchion
• Sword, Katana
• Sword, Khopesh
• Sword, Long

While people are always free to argue over the 'proper placement' of their sword of choice, in game terms, swords are either one handed, two handed, hand-and-a-half or so weird that wielding them grants no bonuses to other weapons. One such 'weird' weapon is the Khopesh. If, however, you were playing in Essos, I imagine a Khopesh proficiency would allow you to use a Dothraki Arakh with the related weapons penalty. You would probably have bigger problems on your hands, however.
